Well the talk is done and I'm not really sure how it went. We got complete silence from them. Not a word other than "okay". Our older daughter, age 12 was stonefaced and unemotional. Sarah, 11, initially became teary-eyed but immediately shut that down. I tried, without forcing them, to let them know that it was okay to be sad, mad, angry or whatever they were feeling and that it was okay to ask or tell us anything they wanted, but they had no questions or comments at all. While I'm glad that they didn't break down or anything, it does trouble me that they were this unemotional. Anyone else have similar reactions from their kids? I plan to talk to them again in a couple of days after all of this has set in and see how they are doing.
